Letters of Intent - baby goes to school

I love the place. I just wasn’t ready to leave him there and miss being part of his day.

I did all the things a responsible parent does.

I bought $1,452 worth of classroom supplies. I stocked up on 11,000 packets of those cool applesauce pouches. I dressed the kid in layers. I completed a detailed health questionnaire and noted that Itty Bit should not do any major contact activities because of his kidney issues.

I picked him up happy and smiling… with $1,452 in classroom supplies unloaded from his backpack, 11,000 applesauce packs still in his lunchbox, his coat still on (seriously?!? It was HOT), and with a CHIPPED TOOTH.

He “doesn’t remember” how he chipped his tooth.

You’re gonna tell me I have the one kid in the class who wants to play contact sports, aren’t you?

Love,

Dear Mr. Daddy,

Should we start sending our kiddo to school in this?

Love,

Dear Papa,

Only because you’re my dad – I have honored your insistence that I not post your picture on the blog. But this was just inevitable…

It wouldn’t have been nearly blogworthy if it were only your hand in that last picture…

Yikes! A chipped tooth? Acck. But I CAN say this... you need to get used to the "I don't remember" line, cause it WILL get used over and over. And over. boys. As for the bus, get the number and report them. Seriously. There are a LOT of great school bus drivers, but it only takes one bad one to cause a tragedy that impacts a lot of people for a long, long time. And finally... I HAVE that shirt, and I love it! Reaaally soft and comfy...

Oh no-his poor tooth. Don't you love when kids get hurt/injuries and have no idea how it happened. Glad you were paying attention and didn't hit that stupid bus-that is scary. Though as my 6 year old will tell you buses are very safe because of the reinforcing metal beams that run through them. He knows things like that :)

LOL! My three year old has a chipped tooth too! I noticed it one day and have no idea how it happened! But Itty Bit!! That's funny about the no-contact thing AND the tooth! I'd be ticked about the bus thing! Especially now that your own kiddo is riding one! Stupid driver!!

Oh I hate that he chipped his tooth. How funny that he can't remember how though. I saw where you pinned that shirt and thought, how cute that is perfect! Love it. Stinkbutt dog may have ended up with a BB or two in his butt here lol.

How does he not remember how he chipped his tooth? I had a hard time with Stunt Man loosing his first tooth. I loved those baby teeth. He still has all the top baby teeth and I am dreading the day that those two front ones decide to fall out. They are wiggly already. Yikes. Just one more school picture with those baby teeth please. LOL I hope that Itty loves school everyday & that he learns so much. I love that t-shirt. I need that one too. Love the picture of your dad's backwash. LOL Great capture. You always get those great spontaneous shots. Funny!
